Özet

The objective of this study was to investigate whether extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can affect semen parameters in patients with distal ureteral stones. We concluded that extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy could reduce sperm concentration and motility permanently in men with lower ureteral stones. © 2004 by American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
